    What do the vendors do with all of the inventory at night? Your typical gun shop locks it away, i can't see them having that luxury with stuff at the 1500. Overnight security, i assume?

    Cars and semis off the road on 74 west this morning, very rough traveling, drove 30 to 35 mph all the way to indy from montgomery county,in. My brother had never been, he got to test the AIR in the small isles between tables!! did have a good time though, looking for items on want list. He got to see his big brother wheel and deal on a garand that i brought home also. It is a sweet one made in nov 42. well for you that wish to travel sunday morning be careful of the roads and the wonderful black ice that this new road construction likes to hang onto!!

    Oh, I almost forgot to mention that I saw the police escort a drunk fella out the door. Maybe drunk isn't the right word.... smacked is probably more accurate. How do you get into a gun show tanked at noon is beyond me.

    He probably didn't get blasted until after he saw the prices.....

    Got in about 0900 no wait. Did find some colt GI mags that I was happy to pay ten bucks for. Got an INGO hat and license plate. Donated to USO and constitution carry. Had a good time hanging out with buddies. Didn't get crop dusted, so I would say today was a winner.

    Had I felt well enough to go (which I didn't), I had, after reading a few references to this, thought of approaching the INGO table with arms outstretched making motor noises like an airplane!

    My wife and I went from 10-1 today (Saturday). Saw GNRPowdeR and VERT today and saw a couple of people with INGO gear, but didn't get to really meet anyone else. Also got some more INGO swag! Would have gotten more, but apparently Fenway doesn't stock sizes for us larger individuals! :): Did you sell that shirt VERT?

    All the T shirts that I found at the booth got sold. And GNRPowdeR has a surprise for you.

    I went in about 15:00, meet GNRPoedeR and Very at the INGO table. Picked up a shirt and hat, didn't spend any other money.

    I signed the Constitutional Carry petition at the Welcome To Hoosier Carry » Hoosier CarryHoosier Carry | Indiana's Personal Protection Lobby table and stopped by Gov. Pence's table... Sadly, not much optimism for HB 1056 at either table. Looks like Dermody isn't inclined give it a hearing. :(

    We gotta get Speaker Bosma to work over Chairman Dermody.

    The INGO table would have probably assumed you were just spreading some Indy Dave fairy dust laced with love. Nothing wrong with that.
